“How long have you had the gallery?” Tina asked.
“I’m just starting my third year at that location,” Bette replied. “I was in a much smaller space for the first six months, but it took off and I was able to move.”
“I heard nothing but praise for you last week when I was at the artists’ dinner,” Tina complimented. “You make quite an impression.”
“Eavesdropping on my guests were you?” Bette teased.
“Every opportunity I had,” Tina replied, sipping from her water glass. “You’re a bit of a mystery to Eric so I had to do some of my own investigation.”
Bette’s demeanour shifted slightly at the mention of his name. She thought she might as well be cordial about it all.
“How long have you known Eric?” Bette inquired.
“Oh I’ve known him since I started at Alphaville,” she replied. “He would be brought in for certain projects when I was an intern.”
“So he doesn’t actually work there?” Bette clarified.
“No, he’s only part of contract negotiations if one of his firm’s clients is involved with a film,” Tina replied.
“When did you start dating him?” Bette asked. She wasn’t sure why she kept torturing herself with this line of questioning.
Tina wasn’t convinced she was ready to divulge the fact she and Eric were no longer together. She didn’t know why.
“About six months ago,” she replied with a shrug, glancing away from direct eye contact with Bette.
“So, not long at all,” Bette mused aloud. She sensed a reticence in Tina’s response that made her want to dig deeper.
“Not really, in the big scheme of things,” Tina replied. She was tracing her finger around the bottom pedestal of her water glass, trying to find some reason not to look up.
Because of her line of vision, she saw Bette’s hand reach across, and anticipated her touch long before it happened.
The pad of Bette’s index finger touched gently along the dorsal aspect of Tina’s, moving from the second knuckle and ending by nudging against the tip. The innocence of their physical contact belied the silent response of Tina’s sympathetic nervous system. Mouth dry, heart racing, respiration rate increased.
How could having someone touch her so innocently make her feel this way?

Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah! They definitely need *contact information*…heheh…just in case. Simply lovely, swimmer! :)
An enjoyable story. Thanks for taking the time.
I love your idea of a bunch of lunches. It’s a nice slow burn, until you get them to lunching 7 days a week.
love when tina lets go of her apprehensiveness & lets bette know she is genuinely into her, not playing games….thx & can’t wait for the next lunch!
I love this.. especially since it started with a phone call picked up from further down the line. Tina’s need for it to go a certain way is interesting to watch play out. Bette seems confident in comparison but its hard to tell. Can’t wait for another lunch date.
hmmmmmm….who will break down first and call the other?? can’t wait for the next post!!
Yeahhhhhhhhh…like ntnrml61…I wonder…who is gonna break down first and call! Excellent question!!!
Thx for the update, it was a nice sunday treat.
Getting warmer!! Nice!!
swapping contact information hmmm now lets see who calls whom first,lol…:)PPS
Love the slow way they are taking this. A lot of lunches can come. thanks
Reading your work provokes this strange syndrome in me: As I near the end of the posting, the pace of my reading slows and slows until I am actually scrolling backward to keep from coming to the finish, as though I would hate for the chapter to end …Curious… Anyone else having that problem?
Hey Swimmie, I love accent’s too! I hope for Bette’s sake that Tina doesn’t lose it. It’s such a pleasure to hear on someone (especially your partner). I wonder who will make that first move and call? I think it’s going to be Bette. Thanks for the post!
Ahh they are so cute and sweet, love them. Please post more, thanks!
Great story. I love how this is playing out. My money is on Tina to be the first to call!!!!
JKS, As always just loving your story. Thank you
Love it Swimmie. The idea of lunches is great for Tina and it gives her time to reconcile herself with falling in love with Bette. Wonder who will break down and make the call first? Study hard Swimmie, most important, then post. Post when you can.
hey you never know… just in case… love this…PPS
Loving this! PPS.
As always. thanks for the great chapter!
That was absolutely enjoyable. Thanks for the post.
Very nice, swimmie. I look forward to whatever you post next, whenever you post.
Another excellent chapter JKS! Tina should tell Bette that she’s not with Eric anymore at the next luncheon, otherwise it looks like she was hiding it from Bette on purpose.
im just gonna say, i love what you do with words. it could be a simple interaction but your words make it beautiful. thx
I like the flirtation. And boy oh boy do they need to make sure they share “contact info”. :)
so exciting, more lunches :)
Hello JKS, Thank you so much for these delightful chapters. I have ust caught up in 2 to 4. I lvoe the gentle seduction that is going on here between Bette and Tina. They each feel the attraction between each other but are too unsure to act fully. This is bubbling away like a great Marinara sauce. All the ingredients are here now it just takes time to strip away the protective skins and reveal the soft juicy flesh. Time to let the individual parts become a complete dish. Time to mature and deepen. Just perfection. More please as I think Bette and Tina need to feast on something other than food. Much gratitude from Your Loyal Fan.
yay, bring on the next date.
I love the lunches idea! Tina needs to tell Bette about Eric though. Thanks for posting!
Yes, contact infos…very important. And not that I’m not enjoying this, bu, Bette and Tina..The Early Years will be like…when? LOL
Great start to my morning!
Thanks for the update. I love this story. I am a sucker for B and T beginnings and this one has me riveted to the page!
It will never ever be “just” with these beautiful two, I have been reading your story for the last hour and it’s absolutely beautiful and addictive, but I just had this question popping up in my head, why can’t people who used to be lovers be friends?? I think the only reason that really keep them together and keep the friendship is that they still have feelings for each other.I don’t know, maybe I am wrong but most breakup’s end up this way. Anyway great up date my dear, keep posting and have a great day.
